Volunteer Abroad in Chile with United Planet Chile Quest

ACCOMMODATIONS
Volunteers will stay with a host family in Santiago for all programs with three, delicious Chilean meals provided each day.

TRANSFERS
All volunteers will be picked up by our coordinator in Chile and dropped off at the airport upon departure.

Volunteers will be riding on Santiago public transport, buses and the metro, to their site from their host family. City transportation is not expensive, but it is volunteers’ own expense. For example, volunteers working at a public school or a daycare center may have to take a 70 minute bus ride (just one bus). It costs US$.80 (80 cents) one way. Public transport is safe during the day taking normal precautions, but volunteers should not use it at night. Volunteers will finish their work day by 5 pm to get home in daylight. It is advisable to use radio taxis when you go out at night.

ALSO INCLUDES:
Full travel insurance, orientation, and program coordination are also provided.

Volunteers can not change their volunteer activity or their home stay family once they are in Chile.

Dependent children under age 18 (including the children of divorced parents) who are traveling alone, with one parent, or in someone else's custody, must present a notarized document certifying that both parents agree to their travel before the child will be allowed to exit Chile. This document must be notarized before a Chilean consular officer in the United States.
